Our Support Groups

Our Support Groups are designed to provide emotional, educational and social support for caregivers. In the group, attendees develop coping methods, encourage self-care, learn about community resources, and optimize care techniques. Our groups are regularly scheduled and have an open format that run from 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the group. Our groups are small with 4-12 members each. This allows for each group member the option to share their experiences and gain ideas. Our groups are a lifeline for so many.

All of our groups are Caregiver Support Groups unless otherwise noted. Here are some testimonials from people who have attended our Caregiver Support Groups.

"I found out I'm not alone in this journey, there are others walking beside me, struggling with me. Before attending a support group, I felt I was very much alone."

"You can say things in the group you couldn't say to people who are not or have not walked this journey and they will understand and relate."

"You will hear great ideas on different things to try when confronted with a difficult situation or behavior."

"You will learn from others many community resources that can help you."
